The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 requires federal agencies to provide a meaningful role for rural subsistence harvesters in management of fish and wildlife in Alaska. We constructed an interpretive analysis of qualitative interviews with residents of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. Stakeholders' perceptions of their roles and motivations to participate in collaborative management are linked to unseen and often ignored cultural features and differing worldviews that influence outcomes of collaboration. Agencies need to better understand Yup'ik preferences for working together and change their formats and methods of public engagement. More frequent and higher quality interactions among stakeholders...

The Alaska Constitution prevents the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act's (ANILCA)¹ rural subsistence2 priority from being enforced.³ The Federal Government currently manages subsistence on federal lands in Alaska and Alaska can only resume management if it becomes ANILCA compliant. The current federal management system does not sufficiently protect rural and Alaska Natives' subsistence rights. Alaska's Legislature must overcome the rural-urban divide to amend its constitution to become ANILCA compliant again by providing a modified rural priority that includes urban4 Alaska Natives. The Alaska Legislature should repeal the nonsubsistence zones statute because it denies federally defined rural areas...

PURPOSE: The leasing of geothermal resources under lands administered by the U.S. Bureau of Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) in the western United States is proposed. Affected states are Alaska California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New, Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. The proposed action would make geothermal leasing decisions on pending lease applications submitted prior to January 1, 2005 and to facilitate geothermal leasing decisions on other existing and future lease applications and nominations on the federal mineral estate in the western United States. Approximately 142 million acres of public lands administered by the BLM and 160 million acres of USFS lands overlay...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Statewide Management Action Plan (MAP) is an initiative emerging from the Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) Improvement Working Group (FIWG). The FIWG includes representatives from the Association of State and Territorial Solid Waste Management Officials, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Department of Army, the Tribal Association of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Statewide MAP is intended to be a key document for managing the state’s FUDS environmental restoration program. This Statewide MAP intends to identify FUDS clean-up activities for the state, projected schedules, and project funding requirements. Included in this Statewide...

State and industry sources in Alaska say if oil prices stay above $30 and natural gas prices above $5, explorers will make their way to the state's undeveloped prospective basins and ocean shelves. For example, state and federal geologists say there are several sedimentary basins within Interior Alaska that share broadly similar geological characteristics and probably contain natural gas, either as conventional gas or as coalbed methane. A case in point is Interior Alaska's Nenana Basin, which has geology and market proximity going for it. Another of Alaska's under-explored and undeveloped area is the relatively small Copper River Basin north of Valdez in a lowland area north of the Gulf of Alaska. The geology of...

The Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act was an experiment and a radical departure from policies in creating corporations with all shareholders being equal. The replication of publicly traded corporate governance has created frustrations, inequities, and unintended consequences for thousands of Natives which can be righted only if the experiment is continued. This is not a history of land claims but an attempt to unravel a tangled web of leadership, political, and rural development issues that are intimately interwoven with ANCSA corporations. This paper is not about second guessing the leadership of the movement but about the need to understand how difficult it is to create rural development on corporate lands whose...

PURPOSE: The provision of expanded visitor facilities and recreational opportunities in the south Denali region of Denali Park, Alaska is proposed. The plan would government management of the area until the year 2020. Over the past 20 years, general growth in the tourism industry statewide has brought more pressure for access to Alaska's wild lands. Visitation to the South Denali region has increased substantially in recent years and expanded recreational opportunities are needed. Three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative (Alternative A), which would support the 1997 Record of Decision for the South Side Denali Development Concept Plan and represent no change from the current policy, are considered in...
